The Kinky Curly Coily Festival celebrated everything about black hair.

Black hair is versatile. You can braid it, fro it, loc it and so much more...

I actually do some of my student's hair as well," said Worlds. "It helps me form better relationships with my kids. I am pretty sure I use a hair analogy with my kids to tell them why we use math in the real world."

For local artist and songwriter Ivy Roots, her natural hair is a symbol of freedom...

"We like to change our hair up," said Worlds. "I wear wigs all the time."

‘Not one word about Kinky Friedman???
He had kinky hair and was from Austin?????
I don’t think he’s in prison or anything?
So where is the rest of the story?”

Mr. Friedman is safe and well thanks to bubble wrap! Dale Watson was talking about how God had been taking so many Texas songwriters lately, and he admonished Kinky to wrap himself in bubble wrap!!”

—”admonished Kinky to wrap himself in bubble wrap!!”

Long ago I lived about 70 miles out of Austin and wearing bubble wrap would be extremely uncomfortable in that neck of the woods!
